Iowa

Iowa voted for President Trump after supporting President Obama twice, but Democrats see opportunities up and down the ballot in 2018, including one of the most endangered Republican congressmen in the nation: Rep. Rod Blum, who represents the 1st District, in the Cedar Rapids and Dubuque area. The district narrowly supported Trump in 2016, but Democrats think state legislator Abby Finkenauer is well-positioned to reclaim this traditionally blue district. Rep. David Young, from the Des Moines-based 3rd District, is also vulnerable. The Hawkeye State also features a competitive gubernatorial race, where Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) is running for her first full term after being elevated to the top job when Gov. Terry Branstad left to join the Trump administration. She faces Democratic businessman Fred Hubbell.
